Note: No Ps2 backup disc/game or copy will work unless your Ps2 Console is Modded
(allows playing of backups), or if you use Swap Magic.

Release Notes: This game is awesome, hope you like.

You could try the homebrew exploit to (Free Mc Boot - Also known as soft modding for ps2), if your ps2 system isnt hard modded with a chip or if Swap Magic isnt working as a last resort. There are ps2 emulators but its not 100% the quality isnt as good as playing your game on your ps2 console.

If your using swap magic and dont have a flip top, youll need to first
remove the front cover of the disc tray for use of the slide card.

And heres some links on using the slide tool to open the tray to swap in your ps2 copy or backup game.

Those that dont have a modded Ps2 Heres a few links for Free MC Boot how to use it to soft mod your ps2 so you can be able to play burned games. Free Mc Boot wont work on newer models of ps2 youll have to use an older version the tutorial explains this.

Then you will also need to patch the iso (the PS2 game) with ESR disc patcher GUI v0.24a if your using free mc boot with ESR Elf to boot your p2 copies or backups (No-swapping required for esr method).

After patching burn the iso with Imgburn or Dvd Decrypter to respectable media
then use the ESR through fmcb after you installed everything to boot your game.

You will still need to use the proper media for the game to run or load properly regardless if your using fmcb, a modded ps2, or swap magic. Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden is preferred.

Note: If fmcb isnt working and your Ps2 isnt Modded, Swap Magic should do the
trick.

Game Description:

Odin Sphere is a side-scrolling action game with RPG elements, featuring a combination of 2D and 3D graphics. The game was designed as a spiritual successor to Atlus own Princess Crown, and features the same kind of modular animation system, allowing for extremely smooth and varied motion for even the largest characters.

The action gameplay is similar to Princess Crown, but does not limit enemy encounters to one-on-one fights, instead, all fighting happens in real-time as the player progresses through circular areas. Upon defeating enemies, the player is rewarded with items and experience in order to level up the attack strength and magic capabilities of the character. Players can also plant seeds during combat that will grow as they absorb Phozons released by defeated enemies, eventually producing edible fruit. Phozons can also be absorbed by the character to power up their weapon.

The game features 5 distinct playable characters, each with his or her own storyline intertwined into one epic tale loosely based on Richard Wagners Der Ring des Nibelungen.
